Week 8 Assignment

In one Word-Processed Document answer the following:

I. Choose one of the five areas of Reading (Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Comprehension, Fluency) from the Instructional Considerations for ELLs in the Five Areas of Reading and summarize the considerations that teachers must make for English language learners in this area.

II. Locate your grade appropriate Florida Standards for Language Arts and choose one standard (this can be any standard that will allow you to incorporate listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice). Think about assignments/activities that help students to master this standard. You may use activities/strategies suggested in the text, Instructional Considerations for ELLs in the Five Areas of Reading, and/or the Instructional Strategies Matrix also found at esol.browardschools.com in the Best Practices tab. Provide an overview (this does not need to be a full lesson plan) of how you would deliver a lesson(s) for this standard that would incorporate the four modalities of language.
